Conditions at Sidi R'bat in March
March: Big Winter Swell, Inconsistent Winds
March still packs a punch in the water. The average swell height is 6-7ft (2.1m) and the period remains 12.3s, so there is no shortage of Atlantic energy. The direction mix is again dominated by NNW (35%) and NW (31%), with WNW at 10% - a workable, powerful west-northwest swell window. The problem is March's wind regime: the Azores High is already showing its strength, pumping more NW and WNW winds and cutting ideal offshore flow down to just 27 percent. With NW winds now at 21.3% and WNW at 14.6%, there are many more days of bumpy, onshore surf. The best sessions come in the wake of frontal passages when E to ESE winds briefly take over. Averages: air temperature 16.6°C, rain 1.26 mm/day, water temperature 17.3°C.
